[Elo Energy's 5MWh energy storage system has passed UL's rigorous explosion test] SolaX Power recently announced that its ORI 5MWh energy storage system has successfully completed full-scale system level detonation testing under the guidance of UL Solutions. This test is conducted based on the UL 9540A: 2025 draft framework and is UL's first system level deflagration assessment worldwide. The test intentionally triggered thermal runaway of the battery cell in a controlled environment and kept the ventilation system closed, fully simulating the extreme process of combustible gas release, accumulation, and even detonation. The test scenario is designed based on high demand parameters, with the ignition point set at a location that may exacerbate pressure and flame turbulence. In the end, the system structure remained intact and successfully passed the strict thermal runaway safety verification.Editor/Yang Meiling

• Recently, the Ningxia Government Service Network released a notice on the Environmental Impact Assessment of the Lithium Battery Dismantling and Tiered Utilization Project of Ningxia Zhongmi Technology Co., Ltd. The Yinchuan Approval Service Management Bureau has made an approval decision on the environmental impact assessment of the construction project. The project is located in Suyin Industrial Park, Yinchuan. Two power lithium battery recycling production lines will be built using vacant factories, with an annual processing capacity of 4000 tons of waste lithium batteries. The main products are aluminum powder, copper powder, and black powder. The total investment of the project is 51 million yuan, of which the environmental protection investment is 1.055 million yuan, accounting for 2.07% of the total investment, including the prevention and control of waste gas, noise, solid waste, and wastewater.
